P. Diddy Admits Connection to Tupac's Murder

American rapper and producer Sean Combs, known as P. Diddy, is connected to the murder of Tupac Shakur, according to the New York Post citing court documents. According to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan's Supreme Court, Combs reportedly referenced the murder of Tupac in 2012 as a threat to silence an alleged victim of sexual assault.

The plaintiff, Steve Otis, claims that while working as a male escort at a hotel in downtown New York, Combs assaulted him after being under the influence of drugs. According to Otis, following the incident, Combs threatened him and stated that if he had organized the murder of the famed rapper, then the consequences for Otis could be even more severe.

The case documents also indicate that prior to this, Combs allegedly forced Otis to perform humiliating acts with a woman for several hours. After the incident, according to the plaintiff, the threats continued; in 2014, when Otis commented on Combs' Instagram page, third-party representatives allegedly reminded him again about possible consequences. The lawsuit states that the owner of the escort agency working with Otis warned him that people associated with Combs could "make people disappear." The plaintiff claims that the threats were interpreted as a direct demand to remain silent under the threat of death.
